"These are dangerous times," Rep. Al Green said after Trump rallygoers targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Democrats are calling for increased security for members of Congress after the crowd at President Donald Trump’s rally Wednesday erupted in racist “send her back” chants targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar , who immigrated to the U.S. from Somalia when she was 8 years old.
Coverage of Trump’s rally in Greenville, North Carolina, on Wednesday sent shockwaves across the country as attendees chanted “send her back!” after the president ripped into Omar and falsely accused her of being anti-Semitic. The chant was, in fact, inspired by his racist tirade on Sunday against Omar and the three other Democratic congresswomen ― Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib ― collectively known as “the Squad.”
Story continues“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” the president tweeted Sunday. “Then come back and show us how ... it is done.”
